Jirre Bokkie!, net jy sal sulke challenges gaan oopruk, en dit verwoes! Great adventure you 2, good you had a very experienced riding buddy Rynet. Now you know modder, and 1200GS dont work too well. Myself and two other buddies battled 1hr50minutes to ride 1.8km last year. Modder is n bliksem. I suppose you had to clean out the mud between the front tyre and the "modder skerm" countless times. I found that the moment your front wheel no longer turns (due to the mud build-up) you go down ! NO control what so ever.

I wonder how many of the more "experienced" WD's would have actually ventured on further in these conditions? Well done to you both , Rynet this is evidence of how dirty this sport really is Thanks for sharing (or warning)

Thanks Just spoke to my mechanic , he has done my 120 ,000 km service with all the oil changes etc . He says the back brake lever bent a bit and deactivated the braking system , but he corrected it and I now have brakes again . My front brake pads are fine , I just needed new back brake pads, but they were worn before the mud already . And of course my air filter was dirty and thus I needed new spark plugs also. The diff boot was loose ( thanks Mark Hardy for pointing this out ), but it was also just dirty and is fine now. So all in all nothing out of the ordinary . She is running perfect . Just waiting for tyre prices and a wash and she's ready for our next trip to Jansenville via Baviaans first week in Feb to visit Bie . I tell you these GS 1200 's are durable . I must have fallen over a hundred times with her and only one fall needed cosmetic surgery to her. ( other than the pot covers) . But just in case I really must get those burglar bars from Chris L
